Hi, i have a computer with a pentium3, 797 MHz, 512 MB
RAM, Win XP and the computer is extrem slow in general
operation. The hard disk drive c is to 50% free and the d-
drive to 99% free. I did many disk clean-ups, defragment
the system every 2 days, there a no games on the computer.
Can please somebody help me to speed up the operation
performance of my computer. Thanx very much! Jacki

35°C is pretty warm for room ambient temp. It is possible that your
CPU is automatically throttling its performance due to high temps.
